Geely Borui: Should I Use 95 or 92 Octane Gasoline?

[VanRafael]

Geely Borui uses 95 octane gasoline. Exterior Design: The overall design of the new car remains unchanged, featuring a vertical waterfall-style grille paired with upward-slanting LED headlights, creating a more three-dimensional visual effect. The fastback lines at the rear outline a dynamic body posture, with dual exhaust pipes at the bottom. Powertrain: The Geely Borui PHEV is equipped with a 1.5TD engine + electric motor powertrain combination, delivering a system comprehensive power of 190kW and a maximum torque of 415N.m. The pure electric range of the new car has been upgraded to 84km, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 1.3L per 100km.

If you're on a tight budget and want to save money, the Geely Borui can run perfectly fine on 92-octane gasoline. Since 92-octane is cheaper per liter, using it can save you a significant amount over time, especially for commuting or short-distance driving where it hardly affects engine performance. Based on my own comparison, driving 1,000 kilometers a month can easily save you dozens of yuan. However, be cautious not to frequently mix fuel types or use low-quality gas stations. Occasionally using 92-octane won't cause immediate issues, but long-term use might slightly reduce power response and increase fuel consumption. When calculating overall costs, it's still recommended to use 95-octane within the manual's requirements for better vehicle maintenance. After all, with a car worth over 100,000 yuan, it's not worth damaging major components to save small amounts of money.

When pursuing driving pleasure in a Geely Borui, using 95-octane gasoline is definitely the top choice. 95-octane fuel allows the turbocharged engine to deliver stronger instant power and faster acceleration response, which feels particularly exhilarating. Especially when driving on mountain roads or overtaking on highways, the sense of push-back is noticeably enhanced. I've tried 92-octane fuel before, and the car felt slightly sluggish at startup with louder engine noise, which affected the mood. For daily driving, 95-octane provides smoother, quieter, and more worry-free performance. It's recommended to use high-quality fuel regularly and combine it with a habit of gently pressing the accelerator to keep the car in its best condition.

The Geely Borui engine is designed and optimized for high-octane fuel. The 95-octane fuel offers better anti-knock properties, suppressing combustion abnormalities and avoiding noise. The 92-octane fuel, with its lower octane rating, may cause slight cylinder wear and affect engine lifespan. It is recommended to follow the manual and use the correct fuel grade to maintain stable and reliable performance of core components.

After years of using the Geely Borui, I emphasize the importance of long-term maintenance. Using 95-octane gasoline helps prevent knocking, reduces carbon deposits, and lowers repair costs. While 92-octane can be used occasionally in emergencies, relying on it regularly is not advisable as it may decrease engine efficiency and increase maintenance expenses, which is not cost-effective. Regular inspections of the fuel system combined with using the correct fuel grade ensure safer and more reliable driving.
